Graphic television reports, blooding images on black-and-white televisions...a lot has changed about the way we cover the war.

Last week, I lost a dear, dear friend. Many of you probably heard about the fatal avalanche at Stevens Pass, WA, that claimed three lives. It made international news.

So...As a part of his hitRECORD project, kudos go out to actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (my best friend panel pal - here we are talking creativity...) for calling on the ghost of Ben Franklin to educate us via this cheesy--but very informative--cartoon by...

Fashionistas (and fashion photographers) love to play with gender boundaries. Too often IMHO that turns campy, like poorly-executed drag, or tasteless-pushing-offensive. These don't. Here's a Monday morning kick for you - Craig McDean’s images of actress Chloe Sevigny, in character as a pre-op transgender assassin in an upcoming British show). And this, my friends, definitely avoids that...

In Seattle, we're enjoying some pretty balmy weather (for February).
